In June 1986, Zhang Xing, a 24-year-old "king of a generation of singers," was sentenced to three years in prison for hooliganism.
So what happened that year that made this rising star fall to the bottom of life? This has to start with his bohemian character in his youth.
In 1984, at the age of 22, Zhang Xing released his debut album "There is more than one road to success", which was popular for a time.
Among them, the song "Late" is sung in the streets. The album sold more than 3 million copies in just two months, making Zhang Xing a household name.
Singer Zhang Xing
In August of the same year, he went to participate in the Shanghai Youth Guitar Competition and won the first place with excellent performance. But what is lamentable is that he has just embarked on the peak of his career and has fallen into the trough of his life.
In July 1985, Zhang Xing was detained by the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau. It is reported that he had just returned from a commercial performance outside that day and was taken away by the police at the Shanghai dock. The cause of the incident was that he "stepped on two boats" before he became famous.
Before working in the Shanghai Radio Factory, Zhang Xing often went to some music cafes to sing, singing two songs can earn a piece of two, why not enjoy it?
It was here that he met a girl who came every day to listen to her singing and became a big fan of him.
Gradually, Zhang Xing became fond of this girl and would send her home every day. Over time, the two became like glue and established a romantic relationship.

But at this time, Zhang Xing's first love girlfriend came to his factory, hoping to reunite with him.
This girl was Zhang Xing's first love when he was a student, and was also attracted by his talent and singing, and eventually developed a romantic relationship with him. But early love is taboo in schools, and after being discovered by parents and school authorities, the two of them were quickly separated.
Zhang Xing was young
Now facing his first love again, the young Zhang Xing is difficult to make up his mind to make a choice for a while, so he begins to maintain a romantic relationship with two girls at the same time.
At that time, his idea was simple, to spend a while together to see who was best for him, and then make a choice. And he thinks that there is no intersection between the two girls, and his behavior will not be discovered.
Zhang Xing's early years
But the reality is always the opposite, one day Zhang Xing after work, in the factory door to see the two girls quarreling, what is going on?
It turned out that they were all here to wait for Zhang Xing to leave work, and they all claimed that they were Zhang Xing's girlfriend. It was the rush hour of the factory, and because of this, Zhang Xing's footing on two boats was well known.

He was then fired from the factory, and the two girls, knowing about Zhang Xing's behavior, also left him. I thought that the past had passed like this, but later Zhang Xing realized that his idea was still too simple.
After Zhang Xing became famous, his first love often went backstage to find him, but Zhang Xing said many times that it was impossible for them to go back to the past.
The girl's repeated appearances naturally attracted the attention of the media, so they found the girl and learned about Zhang Xing's previous unknown love history.
A few days later, an article titled "Looking at the True Face of a So-Called Singer" appeared in the press. This report mainly describes the experience of Zhang Xing's relationship with many women before and after his fame, and then abandoned them.

After Zhang Xing's father saw this report, he believed that the media had distorted the facts, so he submitted a complaint material to the newspaper.
But the material was not recognized, and the newspaper published another article accusing Zhang Xing of not only being morally corrupt, but also unrepentant and being an outright outlaw.
At that time, Zhang Xing had planned to hold a press conference after the performance to explain the matter, but the change was always faster than planned, and he did not expect that he was taken away by the police just after returning to Shanghai.
To make matters worse, Shanghai was in a special period of severe crackdown, so Zhang Xing was eventually sentenced to 3 years in prison for hooliganism. A singer at the peak of his life was sentenced to prison for immature behavior in his youth, and his future was ruined.
Zhang Xing was released from prison in 1988, but the music scene at this time has undergone earth-shaking changes. But he still worked very hard, and only two months after his release from prison, he released the album "Sun And Rain" and achieved good results.
But then, starting with the album "Three Years Later", his record sales gradually declined.
Later, Zhang Xing's imprisonment was widely reported by the media, and many fans began to scorn him. Coupled with the influx of Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music into the mainland at that time, he was completely engulfed by the tide of the times.
In January 2016, Zhang Xing, who had been silent for many years, once again attracted attention when he appeared on the list of untrustworthy people published by the Chaoyang Court in Beijing because he did not pay back the money he owed.
Although the Chaoyang Court issued the latest notice on the same day, Zhang Xing has remitted all the case funds to the court and has been removed from the list of untrustworthiness, but this matter has aroused the attention of many media and netizens. So what is the reason for the "generation of singers" to fall to Lao Lai?
Media coverage
According to media reports, In 2008, Mr. Zhang sold a house in Beijing to a friend named Mr. Li.
Since the house had not yet been titled at the time and there was an outstanding bank loan, the two did not agree on a specific transfer time. After paying the house payment, Mr. Li moved in at the end of the year.
However, after the property rights were issued, Zhang Xing never transferred the property to him, so in 2011, Mr. Li sued Zhang Xing to the court and asked him to immediately go through the transfer procedures.
In February 2012, the court ruled that Zhang Xing and the developer should immediately transfer the property rights of the house to Mr. Li's name.
However, after the court's judgment took effect, Zhang Xing still delayed putting it into action. Mr. Li really had no choice but to pay his arrears of bank loans instead of Zhang Xing, and apply to the court to enforce the transfer of property rights.
Zhang Xing saw that there was no way to retreat, and if he did not agree to the transfer, the other houses would be sealed, and he could only cooperate.
In 2014, Mr. Li took Mr. Zhang xing to court again, demanding that he pay the mortgage he had previously paid on his behalf.
In April 2015, the court ruled that Zhang Xing needed to pay Mr. Li about 820,000 in lieu payments. However, after the judgment took effect, Zhang Xing still did not perform the matter, and Mr. Li applied for compulsory enforcement again in July.
Until January 2016, Zhang Xing still had not repaid the money, so there was a storm that he was put on the list of untrustworthy by the court.
In response to this matter, Zhang Xing later said in an exclusive interview that it was actually his unladylike encounter that led to this situation.
In 2008, when he transferred the property to Mr. Li at a low price, Mr. Li said he would invest in one of his shows, but he was delayed in cashing in.
Therefore, Zhang Xing hoped to return the house payment to Mr. Li and take back the property, but Mr. Li did not agree, and then sued himself in court.
In response to Mr. Li's payment of the bank loan on his behalf, Zhang Bank said that he did not know it, so he caused a misunderstanding of refusing to execute the judgment.
Talking about the comments triggered by this incident, Zhang Xing said that the media only made a fuss about him alone, and that Mr. Li had previously owed more than 6 million yuan in production money, and had not been executed since he was sentenced in 2012, but it was not exposed.
But Zhang Xing did not feel aggrieved, he thought that he had experienced too many things, and this matter was not much of a storm. He doesn't blame anyone, he just wants the public to know the truth.
Zhang Xing, who is now almost 60 years old, has experienced too many storms, but fortunately, he still has a wife who loves him, a lovely son, and a warm home behind him.
When Zhang Xing first met her current lover Yin Yi, she was only 9 years old, and Zhang Xing was already 36 years old at the time. It was in a children's singing competition, zhang xing was the judge of the competition, and Yin Yi was one of the contestants.
Zhang Xing's family
Coincidentally, Yin Yi's father was once a fan of Zhang Xing, and after the game, Yin Xing's father hoped that Zhang Xing would become his daughter's tutor, and Zhang Xing also felt that Yin Yi had a high talent in singing, so he agreed.
Since then, the two have begun frequent contact, but everyone never expected that a teacher-student relationship with a difference of 27 years has also begun.
Yin Yi
Ten years later, Zhang Xing plucked up the courage to propose to Yin Yi when he was 19 years old. This relationship with a huge age difference naturally did not get the consent of Yin Yi's parents.
But Yin Yi said in front of his parents that he would not marry in this life. Later, at the insistence of the two, Yin Yi's parents gradually accepted Zhang Xing, and eventually the two also had lovers and eventually became dependents.
Yin Yi and Zhang Xing
Their marriage was not optimistic from the outside world at the beginning, after all, the age difference was too much, and many people accused Zhang Xing of having problems with his character.
However, after the two got married, they were very affectionate, and soon there was a love crystallization, and the sweet world of the two became a warm family of three, and everyone gradually changed their attitudes.
Later, Yin Yi participated in a variety show, and Zhang Xing also went to help his beloved wife. In the show, Yin Yi talked very calmly about his love with Zhang Xing.
"Like people drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge", this is her evaluation of her own relationship with Zhang Xing. She never doubted her choice, and she always felt that she was the luckiest and happiest woman in the world.
In recent years, many netizens have exposed photos of Zhang Xing attending various commercial performances. "A generation of singers" now looks very vicissitudes, and the places starred are also very grounded.
The years have left an indelible mark on him, but he is still singing hard.

For Zhang Xing, he has also experienced too many ups and downs in his life, but fortunately he finally found his own happiness and home. Let the past pass, I hope Zhang Xing can let go of the past and live so happily ever after.
